FOR THE RECORD
“I agree with every single critique of the shortcomings of the debt limit deal. In a rational world, we wouldn’t just be fighting over discretionary spending, we’d be restructuring entitlements. We don’t live in that world.” – Ben Shapiro
“For those who don’t remember what the Constitution says, which is most of our elected representatives, it does not authorize a great deal of what the federal government spends our tax dollars to do.” – Nate Jackson
OBSERVATIONS
“If Florida were really a hotbed of antagonism toward minorities, Americans would have noticed and wouldn’t be moving there en masse. The state has gained some 700,000 people since the 2020 census. The U-Hauls are coming because Florida has a well-earned reputation as an open place full of opportunity. If the NAACP were truly concerned about the welfare of African Americans instead of trying to score points against a Republican potentially on the rise in national politics, it would issue travel advisories about going to Chicago or Baltimore, poorly governed cities where it is affirmatively dangerous for young Black men to live. Such places could learn from Florida. If the NAACP were thinking clearly and didn’t have an agenda, it wouldn’t be denouncing the state but considering moving its headquarters there.” – Rich Lowry
“Media always covers negotiations over spending as if the organic center, the endpoint, the only reasonable place to be, stands not between the desires of two competing political parties or two competing branches of government but rather wherever Democrats happen to reside. One side is trying to save the nation from default and economic ruin; the other is a reckless ‘hostage taker’ intent on rolling back progress.” – David Harsanyi
“Those who oppose guns in our society or violence in sports or the increasing coarseness of our culture are engaged in a futile endeavor unless they take on the real cause of the decline, which is the decline of our culture. One sees it everywhere. The cavalier treatment of taking another’s life, whether it be through abortion or shooting up a birthday party or going berserk on the subway or randomly drawing a knife on a perfect stranger. Americans have to cherish life once again, and the fact is they do not cherish life.” – R. Emmett Tyrrell
